When Fürth becomes the Blues-Rock Mecca
On Friday, November 27, 2026, the Kofferfabrik in Fürth transforms into a stage for honest, rugged, and passionate guitar blues. On the first evening of the 14th Rory Gallagher Weekend, The Factory – bluesXtended and Crest of a Wave come together, two acts that carry Rory Gallagher's musical legacy with much energy, authenticity, and a dense live atmosphere.
An evening for fans of raw guitar sound
Rory Gallagher has stood for uncompromising blues-rock for decades, for virtuoso guitar work, and for a stage performance that hits directly at the audience. This very DNA also shapes the weekend in Fürth: no smooth nostalgia show, but a concert experience full of sweat, dynamics, and musical precision. The Kofferfabrik provides the right setting with club intimacy, warm acoustics, and palpable audience atmosphere.
The Factory – bluesXtended sets the first tone
To kick off, The Factory – bluesXtended leads the evening with powerful blues-rock from Germany. The focus is on groove, guitar work, and an exciting orchestration that gets the hall moving immediately. For those who seek immediate energy, clean synchronization, and an earthy sound, this setup is just right.
Crest of a Wave brings Rory's cosmos to the stage
Crest of a Wave from Ireland is regarded as a tribute band with a clear profile: The group takes the audience through Rory Gallagher's back catalog and combines taste classics, strong album tracks, and the spirit of Irish Tour '74 into an intense set. For fans of the Irish guitar hero, this creates an evening that feels less like a retrospective and more like a vibrant homage to an extraordinary career.
Kofferfabrik: close, direct, and characterful
The Kofferfabrik is much more than just a concert venue. The house combines a music club, cultural venue, and gastronomy into an environment where live music has an immediate effect. According to the city of Fürth and Fürth Tourism, the venue is located at Lange Straße 81, offers a developed club atmosphere and is well-connected to public transport at the Fürth Stadtgrenze stop. Parking is available in the public street space. At the same time, it is noted that the venue is not barrier-free, as access is only via stairs.
Exhibition, context, and festival character
Especially appealing: The Rory Gallagher Weekend is more than just a double concert. The city of Fürth also announces an exclusive exhibition featuring guitars and amplifiers from Rory's personal collection. This gives the evening a historical depth that goes beyond the live set and enriches the concert experience with a collector's perspective, scene feeling, and musical memory.
